Île de Ré

On a non-fishing holiday - but I’d managed to stow away a light lure rod and a small selection of lures into our luggage - just in case!


And I managed to wet a line a couple of times as we journeyed around the French island visiting the beaches, little ports and towns.


No bass landed, though I did spot a few - just great to chuck a lure about - and an English bass is definitely a target next summer.
